Lin Perhaps there is something to cooler conditions for Hoya Curtisii. Mine is getting ready to flower - I live in the NE and I see you are in Florida. I will post pictures when she flowers. |

Carolyn: Congratulations on getting Hoya curtisii to grow well and bloom! I've heard conflicting stories regarding the conditions this Hoya prefers, and recently an extremely knowledgeable person told me my problem was probably letting it go completely dry ... apparently this is one Hoya that prefers moist conditions. Yes, please upload a few of your photo's of Hoya curtisii to the database! Hoya (Hoya curtisii) I look forward to seeing them! ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

Lin I will as soon as it blooms. I have taken a few pictures with the blooms coming. Now you have me wondering regarding the moisture. Previously I let my hoyas go dry before watering. I generally have a glass of water upstairs (where my hoyas are) and I have taken to dumping what water is in the glass when I go downstairs - I do check to make sure these plants are not damp before doing this - I am seeing on this plant where the blooms come from the leaf axils and not a typical peduncil that I have on my other hoyas. |

Oh, I didn't know that ... I just assumed it formed peduncle's like other hoyas. Some day I may try Hoya curtisii again ... and keep it moist. I grow all of my plants, Hoya and everything else in a very fast draining potting medium, and I know my trouble with H. lacunosa is because it stays too dry as well. ![]() ![]() ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
